I'm pretty sure Napalm bombings in Vietnam and the like are pretty horrific too.
That having been said, the pace of reporting is always extremely fast when an event is first occurring--and now, as the song says "the waiting is the hardest part". Now comes the boring stuff, where we start to pick up the pieces. Interview people. Take measurements. And these things take time. Remember that most of the witnesses were children and parents (some of whom moved specifically to this community for its safety--there's been one murder there in the last ten years) would naturally be overprotective and cautious. Investigations take time, and I can very easily understand how the police and officials would not want to release daily reports. Quote:
Its like who dresses in camouflage army pants in the woods at 9am near a school in which a horrific shooting just happen. What are the chances of that and if it was a parent, why not just say it. They are silent on the matter because it would further incriminate what looks like a multiple shooter murder plot.
| So the other day I saw a guy walking from to the Willingdon Costco in camo pants and a camo shirt. He was an old Chinese guy and I didn't see if he'd come from a car or from the condo developments just up the street and walked across the empty lots. If there was a shooting, why wouldn't the police arrest and/or detain him? People wear Camo, y'know. It's a thing. I don't really get it, but hey. Whatever floats your boat. Quote:
Also the medical examiner said the kids were shot with a rifle, this is a fact that the parents could get examined independently... so why does the last official report, from my knowledge, say 4 hand guns were found inside and the rifle in the car... but then again there is helicopter footage of the police pulling out a shotgun from a car trunk.
| Again, I don't have the answers here. That was honestly one of the thigns that confused me too. But I'm waiting to see what happens and maybe we'll get it all figured out in a few months' time. Quote:
On top of all this, the Batman shootings have a witnesses that says someone opened the door for the masked shooter and another witness says, these accounts are on video, that a gas canister was thrown from the back and the front of the theater before the shootings.
| Totally different case, totally different situation, and again, we'll have to wait to see what the court cases and evidence shows. Eyewitness accounts are often imperfect and I can tell you that if I had just nearly been shot, I would definitely suspect even my own memory of the incident. |
